Default [10x03] October 28th, 2007
10x03 will be delayed a week because there will be a snooker game.

Description of 10x03:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/nextepisode.shtml

Quote:
Top Gear isn't on this Sunday, as we've kindly given up our time slot so you can watch the snooker. But don't fret - full service will resume next week.

Then you'll be able to see Jeremy taking commuting to bold new heights as he drives the world's smallest car to the Top Gear office.

Plus, James will be climbing aboard the new Rolls-Royce and probably having a thoroughly nice time. And the new Ferrari will be getting a comprehensive thrashing on the test track.

Sunday 28, 8pm BBC Two

Ooh, this sounds like the episode I've been waiting for. James May in a Rolls Royce, Jeremy in a 599 and that awesome shrimp of a car! Brilliant! Looking forward to this a lot!

What's next? Delaying the super bowl because of a knitting show? I had forgotten how much I look forward to Top Gear after a crappy week. I'll just have to hope these next few weeks don't suck.

Two questions:

what the heck is snooker?

what is this "new Ferrari" they speak of?

edit: snooker = billards. "new ferrari" = 599 or 612.

No cocking about? Surely you must be mistaken. images/smilies/tongue.gif


A review by James makes me happy, he needs more air time.

Oh finally the 599 images/smilies/mrgreen.gif
ot. snooker is quite different from billiards ( besides of course it includes table balls and cue images/smilies/biggrin.gif ), and it's far more difficult. But also fun as hell to play ;] for those who doesnt know snooker

Im pretty sure its the 599. The 599 was shown in the preview videos, but the Scuderia wasnt.

This will be an awsome episode, I'm still waiting on my download of 10x02 images/smilies/mad.gif

I don't want to hear the word snooker ever again. Stupid British idiots, no Top Gear for two weeks! If there wasn't a major F1 race coming up I'd have gone on a snooker rampage by now.
